Research on energy conversion of automobile emission

The high temperature exhaust gases from vehicles are utilized to produce electric power bythe MHD （magnetohydrodynamics） energy conversion generator. The electrical energy can then beused to replace existing alternator recharging systems in today＇s vehicles and in future hybrid-electricvehicles which is used to power the vehicle on-board electric energy storage systems. The MIlD powergenerator has been developed to utilize the waste heat to improve the operating efficiency of the vehicleand thus improve fuel economy. The modeled generator shows that 2.4kW energy is available from theengine exhaust. This research shows that the MHD energy conversion generator is suitable to maintainthe battery charge. The high temperature exhaust gases experienced in the vehicle can improve vehicleemission energy conversion efficiency up to 19.5 %. This project of applying MHD power generationtechnology into conversion the energy of exhaust gases is a new conception in the aspect of energy con-version. It can not only extend a new application field of MHD power generation technology, but alsoput forward a new method of solving automobile emission.
